Men's Basketball (10-10, 4-4)...

Cal State Fullerton begins the second and final round of the Big West Conference schedule this week, visiting Long Beach State and hosting UC Riverside. The Titans beat both opponents in the first round with two of their best overall performances of the season.

Last week the Titans won a pair of close games, 92-84 in overtime at Cal State Bakersfield, and 74-68 in the Homecoming Game in Titan Gym over UC Irvine before a raucous crowd of more than 3,200, the sixth biggest crowd in the Big West this season.

Aaron Thompson was the big star in Bakersfield with career highs of 24 points and 14 rebounds including a 3-point play in the final minute of regulation which gave Fullerton its only lead of the second half.

Orane Chin posted career-highs of 23 points and 8 rebounds off the bench to key the win over UCI. The game was tied at 61-61 when Chin hit a jumper. He would then score Fullerton's next 5 points as well for a 68-66 lead at 1:42. Jacques Streeter's driving layup was the key down the stretch.


Women's Basketball (9-12, 4-4)...

Cal State Fullerton begins the second half of Big West Conference play with two games against teams it beat in the first round. The Titans host Long Beach State on Thursday and visit UC Riverside on Saturday.

Fullerton finished the first round at 4-4, losing their fourth Big West game in a row on Saturday at UC Irvine, 73-65. The game "featured" 59 personal fouls -- 32 on the Titans. UCI hit 35 of 45 free throws and the Titans made 24 of 30. On Wednesday, the Titans squandered a 24-point second-half lead but beat Seattle in overtime, 82-76.

Jasmine Scott led the offense in both games. Against the independent Redhawks she had a career-high 26 points including 8 in overtime. She also pulled down 12 rebounds. It was Fullerton's fourth overtime game of the year, the most in school history.

At UCI, Scott had 18 points and 6 rebounds while playing all 40 minutes. Lyndsey Grove added 12 points and 7 boards.


Wrestling (2-6-1, 0-5-1)...

The Titans complete their home schedule with a Pac-10 dual meet on Friday night against No. 20-ranked Oregon State.

The Titans were busy last weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area with two close Pac-10 duals and the San Francisco State Open. Fullerton dropped a 23-20 decision at UC Davis on Friday and then battled Stanford to a 20-20 tie on Sunday. Adin Duenas had a pair of technical falls at 141 pounds.


Women's Gymnastics (1-4, 0-2)...

Baseball...

More than 60 former Titan baseball players were on hand Saturday as the varsity beat an alumni team, 18-3, in the first game in three years due to rainouts. Joey Siddons and Nick Ramirez homered for the varsity, which scored 4 runs in each of the first three innings off three different alumnni pitchers.

The release of pre-season polls is complete and the Titans find themselves ranked nationally No. 3 by USA Today/ESPN Coaches and No. 4 by five other organizations.
